Sulwhasoo Essential Deluxe Set



The Sulwhasoo Essential collection is formulated with ancient Korean herbs to restore balance and skin wellness, minimising early signs of ageing. This nourishing skincare regimen balances the skin, creating hydrated, supple, firm skin. The Korean herbal recipe restores harmony and balance to the skin, minimising the signing of ageing on the skin. 

I was having my eyes on the Sulwhasoo’s Essential Collection for a long time now since it’s made from Korean herbs which really interest me to try it and most importantly it corporates ingredients like Ginseng. I know that Herbal ingredients are very beneficial for internal and external health and I believe in Ying Yang and the Asian philosophy of Harmony and balance. 

Anyway, my mum’s friend was coming over from China to New Zealand for a short visit and this set was brought at duty free as a gift for me. Which is amazing because it’s way out of my budget to get this set and it’s a difficult set to get online and the price tag it’s way too expensive online too.




About Sulwhasoo:

Sulwhasoo’s philosophy follows the perspective of the East, in which everything is organically related to form an entirety.

Sulwhasoo draws its skin wellness regimen from Korean herbal medicine. It is the first science-based Korean luxury medicinal skincare system co-developed with Kyunghee University of Oriental Medicine.

All of Sulwhasoo’s ingredients are natural ingredients native to Korea and raised through a meticulous process on our very own Amore pacific herb farm under the most excellent conditions. These are some key ingredients of Sulwhasoo that make Sulwhasoo so beneficial and effective.

Ginseng naturally grows only in the Far East and the ones from the Korean Peninsula are considered the best. It helps brighten the skin’s complexion, prevent freckles and fine lines. Sulwhasoo uses a 4-year old Ginseng, which known to have the highest saponin content having the effect of increasing level of immunity, regeneration, anti ageing, and antioxidant effects.
